It doesn't really matter which client you use, IF you're
familiar-enough with it and know how to use it. However, your posted
log still shows you use pap. So that either means:
- you don't know how to send mschap request using that client, or
- you haven't got pap working correctly, or
- you don't know the difference between pap and mschap
- you posted the wrong debug output

which is it?

You could always compile from source, or build your own package.

If you use debian or ubuntu my ppa has the latest stable freeradius
version: https://launchpad.net/~freeradius/+archive/stable
Lucid version should fit debian installations just fine.

I take your word for it

Re-read that section, and do what it says. If you do it correctly, AND
send mschap request (using whatever client you're familiar with),
there should be NO debug line that says "ntlm_auth" with
"User-Password" together. That's because mschap does NOT send
User-Password attribute, and the ntlm_auth line is adjusted
accordingly per instructions on the site.

If you STILL have problems after doing that, post the updated debug logs.
